Things to know before using ChatGPT
ChatGPT may seem like an omniscient AI bot, but that isn’t really the case. Like any other machine, it isn’t immune to implicit biases and may at times throw incorrect or outdated information. The fact that its dataset mostly covers data up to 2021 is a cause of concern for those looking for the most up-to-date answers.
Moreover, you have to first create an OpenAI account before you can access ChatGPT. You can use any email account to create a login on ChatGPT. Users can also login via their Gmail or Microsoft account. Furthermore, the bot can only be accessed on the web and doesn’t have any app. But beware, there are some shady apps on Google Play Store pretending to be ChatGPT.
Another important thing to note is that the chatbot is still in open beta and has plenty of users giving inputs to train the bot. As a result, ChatGPT sometimes takes a bit longer than usual to generate replies. There are also times when it faces server overload and becomes basically unusable.
